Beatitudes

Ah, rejoice, rejoice, be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

Yes, I said, rejoice, rejoice, be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

Yeah, blessed are the poor in spirit

For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

And blessed are they that mourn

For they shall be comforted

C'mon and rejoice, rejoice, be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

Sing it, rejoice, rejoice, be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

Blessed are the meek

For they shall inherit the earth

And blessed are they which do hunger

Yes, and thirst after righteousness

For they shall be filled

Ah, rejoice, rejoice, and be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

C'mon, c'mon

And rejoice, rejoice, be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

Blessed are the merciful

For they shall obtain mercy

And blessed are the pure in heart

Ah, for they shall be the ones

They shall all see God

C'mon, rejoice, rejoice, yes, and be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

C'mon, c'mon

Rejoice, rejoice, be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

Yeah, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Rejoice, rejoice, yes, and be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven

C'mon, now, rejoice, rejoice, yeah, be exceeding glad

Great is your reward in heaven...
